Psychological Well- Being Of Indian Mothers During Covid-19 Pandemic: The Roles Of Psychological Flexibility, Parental Stress And Social Safeness

Abstract

In the context of the COVID-19 epidemic, this research examined the connections between psychological well-being (PWB), self-compassion, psychological inflexibility (PI), and parenting stress (PS) in 242 urban Indian women with children aged 10 and under. Results from a regression analysis showed a correlation between the participants' reported levels of psychological well-being and their scores on measures of self-compassion (SC), psychological Flexibility, and perfectionism. This study's findings add to the body of knowledge on maternal mental health by demonstrating that SC, PI, and PS are associated with the PWB of urban Indian mothers even in the context of the COVID-19 crisis, thereby calling attention to the need for adapting gender-based policies and putting an emphasis on targeted interventions for this at-risk group
